Injury Report: Wheeler Out Indefinitely!

I hope we make Tkachook accountable the next time we face them.....
We absolutely will not. Probably the best we’ll get is Forbort or Thompson fighting an Ottawa goon. Woopee
A token fight where the end result will be a 5 minute coincidental major for fighting.
That will be the extent of the payback.
Wheeler should have been in the quiet room as soon as that hit occurred.
If player safety were a real thing, that play would have been reviewed by the league. The league has officials watching the game, they watch reviews. The in-game refs should have been penalized by the league for missing the call (there was no penalty call, correct?) and player safety should have assessed an after the fact fine and suspension to Brady. There is exactly zero reason for his elbow to be that high, other than intent to injure. Contact was not remotely incidental unless you want to buy the rights to the bridge I'm building in Mexico.
Honestly with that kind of BS move the suspension should be equivalent to the same amount of time as the concussed player is out of games for. Extreme yes, but then the Tkachuk style nonsense goes away real fast when you're looking at perhaps the remainder of a season without pay.

Hope every single one of you donate to Brady's charity of choice for the vile comments about him in this thread and the other Wheeler thread.
To assume Brady is causing Blake to take this time off is premature

Yup. The middle 6 power forward winger that is next in line. Harkins would be the only other player who would fit.

It was f***ing garbage and deliberate.
If the nhl doesn’t look at it... I don’t even know anymore.

Wheeler it's obviously missed but it's not the end of the world. He's definitely taken a step back this year in terms of his importance to the offense. Hopefully it's a minor concussion and he can rest for a few weeks and come back.
Copper takes Wheeler's spot, MP with Lowry and Apples and Harkins on the 4th, as per Maurice.

A pint of dark matter, please.
What a shame. Dangerous head hit because Tkachuk felt like it. Shame on you Brady Tkachuk you dirty bastard.
The flying elbow is a perfectly legal play.
...wait.
...wait.
Also, Stanimal should have tuned kachuk up and I don't care what anyone says about having fighting removed, you have to protect your top players or expect it to continue and maybe even more liberties taken with your top players.
Tune him up and he thinks twice about having his elbows up next time.
Was PLD on the ice when this happened? Where were his linemates? I missed all but the last 5 minutes of the game. Was Lowry lining up against kachuk's line?
Wheeler has stepped up for players on this team multiple times for Christ's sake not mentioning he wears the C. Letting them take liberties like that against our captain shows a weakness.
Stanimal has to step up and take on kachuk next game and then EVERY player has to finish there checks on this asswipe.
Ya, I kow a lot of people will be totally against fighting but in this instance, it is warranted.

Frustrating news and the whole Tkachuk family is nothing but a bunch of pukes.

How crazy is it that Wheels has only missed 6 games in the history of the team?!
Hope he's back quickly and has no long-term damage
In the meantime it would be nice if Ehlers could maybe get onto that powerplay now.

I hope Keith is proud of his boys.
The sad part is, he probably is.

They learned how to play the game from the head asshole of the family. I'm sure he would applaud the elbow.
Hated having him on Jets 1.0. Was afraid we would draft a Tkachuk until we won the lottery in '16.

Ehlers going to the 1st PP is likely, but it is too bad for the team. Ehlers is the main cog in the 2nd unit and having 2 units that can score is a luxury most teams can't match.
